I always believe in common humanity that unites people of all nations. I do affirm my humanity by respecting other cultures and religions. I also believe in spreading happiness and exuberance. Moreover, I have an insatiable appetite for knowledge and imparting the same to people and I would like to use TEDx as a platform to unite people.

I love my life and am immersed in the quest for knowledge for knowledge's sake. I am driven by the fact that encouraging people is the key to unearthing their inbred talents. I have an insatiable thirst for philosophy and Carnatic music, ancient texts, epics .I am fond of pets and thus spending time with them is a true bliss to me. I am keen on helping the poor students with their education.

Anything that is instrumental in the betterment of society can be worth spreading. For instance, the pandemic has left an indelible scar and taught us a great lesson "Health is wealth". It is high time we learned that wealth cannot defy death.

As I am inquisitive about delving deep into things and learn more and more, I happened to watch myriads of TEDx videos on my quest. Having been inspired by those ideas, momentum and new perspectives, I resolved that I should organise the event at our school. That's how I made inroads.
